  58. <h2 class="unnumberedsec">TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</h2>
  59. <ol>
  60. <li>
  61. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
  62. a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
  63. under the terms of this General Public License. The &ldquo;Program&rdquo;, below,
  64. refers to any such program or work, and a &ldquo;work based on the Program&rdquo;
  65. means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
  66. that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
  67. either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
  68. language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
  69. the term &ldquo;modification&rdquo;.) Each licensee is addressed as &ldquo;you&rdquo;.
  70. <p>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
  71. covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
  72. running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
  73. is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
  74. Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
  75. Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
  76. </p>
  77. </li><li>
  78. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program&rsquo;s
  79. source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
  80. conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
  81. copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
  82. notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
  83. and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
  84. along with the Program.
  85. <p>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
  86. you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
  87. </p>
  88. </li><li>
  89. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
  90. of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
  91. distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  92. above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  93. <ol>
  94. <li>
  95. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
  96. stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  97. </li><li>
  98. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
  99. whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
  100. part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
  101. parties under the terms of this License.
  102. </li><li>
  103. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
  104. when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
  105. interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
  106. announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
  107. notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
  108. a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
  109. these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
  110. License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
  111. does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
  112. the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
  113. </li></ol>
  114. <p>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
  115. identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
  116. and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
  117. themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
  118. sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
  119. distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
  120. on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
  121. this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
  122. entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
  123. </p>
  124. <p>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
  125. your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
  126. exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
  127. collective works based on the Program.
  128. </p>
  129. <p>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
  130. with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
  131. a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
  132. the scope of this License.
  133. </p>
  134. </li><li>
  135. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
  136. under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
  137. Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
  138. <ol>
  139. <li>
  140. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
  141. source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
  142. 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
  143. </li><li>
  144. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
  145. years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
  146. cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
  147. machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
  148. distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
  149. customarily used for software interchange; or,
  150. </li><li>
  151. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
  152. to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
  153. allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
  154. received the program in object code or executable form with such
  155. an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
  156. </li></ol>
  157. <p>The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
  158. making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
  159. code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
  160. associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
  161. control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
  162. special exception, the source code distributed need not include
  163. anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
  164. form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
  165. operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
  166. itself accompanies the executable.
  167. </p>
  168. <p>If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
  169. access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
  170. access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
  171. distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
  172. compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
  173. </p>
  174. </li><li>
  175. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
  176. except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
  177. otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
  178. void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
  179. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
  180. this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
  181. parties remain in full compliance.
  182. </li><li>
  183. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
  184. signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
  185. distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
  186. prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
  187. modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
  188. Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
  189. all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
  190. the Program or works based on it.
  191. </li><li>
  192. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
  193. Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
  194. original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
  195. these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
  196. restrictions on the recipients&rsquo; exercise of the rights granted herein.
  197. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
  198. this License.
  199. </li><li>
  200. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
  201. infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
  202. conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
  203. otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
  204. excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
  205. distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
  206. License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
  207. may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
  208. license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
  209. all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
  210. the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
  211. refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
  212. <p>If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
  213. any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
  214. apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
  215. circumstances.
  216. </p>
  217. <p>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
  218. patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
  219. such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
  220. integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
  221. implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
  222. generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
  223. through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
  224. system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
  225. to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
  226. impose that choice.
  227. </p>
  228. <p>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
  229. be a consequence of the rest of this License.
  230. </p>
  231. </li><li>
  232. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
  233. certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
  234. original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
  235. may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
  236. those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
  237. countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
  238. the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
  239. </li><li>
  240. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
  241. of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
  242. be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
  243. address new problems or concerns.
  244. <p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
  245. specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and &ldquo;any
  246. later version&rdquo;, you have the option of following the terms and conditions
  247. either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
  248. Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
  249. this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
  250. Foundation.
  251. </p>
  252. </li><li>
  253. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
  254. programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
  255. to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
  256. Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
  257. make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
  258. of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
  259. of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
  260. <p align="center"> NO WARRANTY
  261. </p>
  262. </li><li>
  263. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
  264. FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
  265. OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
  266. PROVIDE THE PROGRAM &ldquo;AS IS&rdquo; WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
  267. OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
  268. MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
  269. TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
  270. PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
  271. REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  272. </li><li>
  273. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
  274. WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
  275. REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
  276. INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
  277. OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
  278. TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
  279. YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
  280. PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
  281. POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
